I purchased the scenery for Prepar3d v4.5 a few days ago. I had a problem with installation (not related to MFSG), nevertheless I had a quick answer and support until OLBA works fine, cheers!
OK scenery overall, but the ILS (and DME) for 16 and 03 are not properly set. On both approaches, you land short and the DME is not correct (which is confirmed by looking at the AFCAD file). Poor design or poor understanding of aviation.
Great Scenery! The detailing on the airport in fabulous! Dynamic lights are beautiful and the performence is also amazing. MFSG products are always fantastic when it comes to perormence and quality. Worth the money!
Good looking scenery.
I honestly do not get why someone complained about how difficult and time-consuming the installation was. The PDF has seven pages, two of them are full of pictures, the font is written in MS Word size 50 and the instructions are really easy to follow.
I even think that this method of installing is better than not having a manager that allows you to get (e.g.) rid of photoreal etc. Cause then you would have to delete .BGL files. I like the installation process that they are doing here: Not missleading, Easy to follow by and customizeable.
The scenery itself is good, Its been modelled to a decent extent however some textures seem a little dodgy. The photoreal isn't the best however can be turned off. My biggest issue with this scenery, which is consistent amongst all MFSG sceneries, is the horrible installation process. Paying €15 for any scenery I'd expect an installer or at the very least a simple "drop in root" zip file. I shouldn't have to edit config files, search through countless folders, replace files and go through at least 15-20 minutes of effort to install one simple scenery. A real shame considering the scenery itself is quite nice.
So nice to have this fantastic Beirut scenery back online.
The FS9 installation process is very simple - just copy it into your sim and scenery.cfg and enjoy. Beirut is running like a rabbit on my rigg. The airport textures are great, phototerrain could be a little better - but this I think is a FS9 issue.

Very good product, I created an ADE file for the good runway assignment, 16 for LDG, 21 for Take off, if someone is interested, feel free to reply at this msg :)
Great Scenery, but such a pain to install. I hoped they had learnt their lesson after OBBI. A simple configurator would be expected for a scenery costing near to 20 dollars. For anyone reading, before you buy please note it takes about 25-30 minutes to install all the necessary patches and files that you would like. Instead of a configurator, MFSG give their customers a 10 page installation manual and about 8 different .zip files...
